Bizarre Eyeball Tattooing Is The New Craze And May Cause Blindness (Photos)

Eyeball tattooing is reportedly gaining traction in Australia,
despite medical professionals warning it can cause blindness and cancer.
At least 20 Australians have permanently inked their sclera – the white
area around the iris – in the practice founded by American body
modification specialist, Luna Cobra.
Despite optometrists cautioning the dangers of the practice, people
are increasingly undergoing the sclera inking in a bid to stand out.

‘I think it’s just becoming a trend among people that just want to be
super-extreme. But the worry is that they are just getting anyone to do
it — or doing it themselves,’ Luna Cobra told News Corp.

His practice, which was inspired from a friend photoshopping his eyes
in an image, involves injecting ink directly into the eyeball, which
spreads and colors the white of the eye.
